It’s good to see National taking stuff like this seriously. Hopefully Matt will help his caucus colleagues to understand that our lack of treatment for head injuries has consequences that go far beyond the health system.

In particular – the New Zealand Prisoner Health Survey has revealed that around two thirds of the people in NZ prisons report that they have suffered from head injuries.

  Head injuries. Huge issue. You can also blame mental health professionals. Working in the field I saw many occasions when a head injury was in the history, but ignored as they did not have a pill for it.
  Classic example of set solutions ignoring issues that did not fit.

Well done Matt. If only this present mob of legal adventurers considered their actions their would be less anxiety and other losses.

  I wish someone in National would put up a fight for mental health, and a lot of other things, that make lockdowns worse than the problem they are alleged to mitigate.

Seems a decent human, like most MPs.
Can he and Andrew Little forge the kind of bipartisan cooperation that is the only way to make progress on any significant issue?

“That’s where it was a disappointment to be part of the last term of the last National government. I was new and as a backbencher I didn’t have any real ability to advocate for change, but there was this huge demand we were facing.”

The fuck are we paying this idiot’s massive salary for an entire term if he’s just going to sit on his ass and claim he can’t do anything? I don’t want to hear my MPs giving excuses.
